When the check engine light comes on in Your 2005 Honda Accord the first thing that You should do is stop driving as soon as it is safe. Continuing to drive when there are potential engine problems can permanently damage Your vehicle. Once You have stopped You can use an OBD II scan tool to see what code was thrown that caused the check engine light to turn on. If it is something simple like a vacuum leak You can loosen and then reinstall Your gas cap and clear the code and it should go away. If the problem is more complicated then You will need to replace the damaged or broken components before clearing the check engine light since it will turn back on after You clear it if the part is still damaged.

Turn the key on then hit the reset button. Continue to hold down the select/reset button until the maintenance required light goes out
